The company reserves the right to search employee's personal belongings and to conduct "random test" and "test for cause" on anyone where there is reason to believe non-conformance with the above policy.

Where there is reason to believe that an employee has an alcohol, drug or other substance abuse problem, the supervisor should offer personal advice, counsel the employee, encourage him/her to seek professional help and advise the employee concerned about available resources for getting such help.
